Description of Program:
David visits the dramatic Northern French Coast of Normandy at the harbor of Honfleur with its distinctive skyline - a favorite location of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) and other painters such as Eugene Boudin. Acknowledged as one of history's greatest landscape watercolorist, Turner deftly transfers his innovative watercolor techniques to his oil painting. David explores this remarkable series of innovations while considering Turner's techniques for composition, borrowed from the atmospheric perspective and freely interpreted landscapes of 17th century French landscape master Claude Lorrain.

Palette: Cobalt Blue, Scheveningen Blue Light, Ultramarine Blue, Carmine, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Gamboge Lake Extra, Opaque Pink, Violet, and Titanium White.
